Trees were assessed for health to further determine the condition of the stream.
 * [|USDA Community Tree Evaluation Form]**



‍‍‍__Methodology__
United States Dept. of Agriculture (USDA) Community Tree Evaluation guidelines were used for evaluating all trees for risk and defects. Diameter at Breast Height (DBH) is given in centimeters while species ID is listed in Latin abbreviations.

__Data Collected__
Long Island Site1-A occupies a residential area in Sandy Springs, GA. The trees at this site appeared to be relatively healthy, with some minor defects such as weak branch unions.

__Visual Biological Survey__
The wildlife observed in and around the stream are frogs, ground skinks, and mockingbirds. There was also evidence of rabbits and squirrels. However, due to the ephemeral nature of the stream, fish, aquatic plants, and algae cannot survive at this location. ‍‍‍ Main Page | Overview | Map | Stream | Water | Bacterial | Urban Ecology | Conclusion | Home Page
